Representing different packages of a product

Dear colleagues,
Some time ago I posted a thread about the different ways to represent in the system different packages of the same product and I got some useful hints how it can be set up in the system, especially from "Dogboy49", who I am very grateful to.
My client would however know about real life cases of how companies handle such requirement. Here are the two options again:
1. Having one material number for the product where the different packaging levels are represented as units of measure - this is our current set-up. The problem is when a new box size is introduced it requires copying the whole product to the new number, with all its units of measure, and changing just one of the units.
2. Alternative layout where each packaging level gets own material number and the different numbers of the same product linked by BOM.
The second approach seems to be the dominating one. Therefore I would really like to come in contact with anybody who works with such layout in the material master and place specific questions about how different issues have been solved.
TIA
Raf

Rafael,
My company has used Strategy 82. Although we are electronic component manufacturers, the concept is similar - the particular product line could be packaged as 'Tape & Reel', 'Tray Pack', "Ammo Pack", "Bulk Pack", and many others. Yet, the business was both unwilling and unable to place FGs product into stock in a time frame that met the requirements of the marketplace. Breaking down existing FGs pack for possible re-pack was very expensive. In this business model, each different packing style was given a different FGs part number, but ATP was performed on the basis of the SemiFinished Goods stock and supply elements.
We eventually abandoned this method, once the manufacturing production line was moved offshore. During the move, the production line was rebuilt and upgraded, the raw material supply chain was improved, and we changed our business model to straight MTO without forecast (build each order from scratch).
If your client is feeling adventurous, SAP SCM also offers "Rules Based Availability (RBA) checking" within their 'Global ATP" module. There is a much richer selection of ATP processes in SCM.

One material different packaging

Hello expert,
i have a query regarding materials packaging. if the scenario is the production produce material in different packaging say: material A 1kg, material A 5 kg and material A 100 gram,
Is it possible using 1 material number for this? Or we use 3 material number? If it's possible to use 1 material, how to differentiate the packaging and quantities?

Dear,
Means this material finish product ... and used for sales ....
Tell me whether you are calculating the cost of material basing on PER KG or packing size wise. If you are calculating manufacturing cost base on packing size, go for creating 3 different material codes. This is helpful in inventory valuation also.

Any idea?

Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!

Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

How to instantiate a class from a different package?

I am trying to instatiate a class in a package: a.b.c from another class in a different package: d.e.f
How could I do so?
I've already been trying many things but didn't manage to get it to work...

Did you include both jar files in your classpath? Use
the -cp option of the java interpreter to specify your
classpath.Well, I tried adding the jar file to the classpath, without any success...
String path = getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toString();
               String finpath = "";
               for(int i=6;i<path.length();i++)
                    finpath = finpath+path.charAt(i);
               System.setProperty("java.class.path",System.getProperty("java.class.path")+";"+finpath+"mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jar/");That's what I did and it didn't work...
If you "unpack" the jars see if there is the correct
packages-folders symmetry...Yes, the classes are in the package-folders they should be in..

Reading image url from a different package.

When I'm trying to read image from a jar with a package structure different from the reading class, the getResource(<image name>) returns the url as null.
For ex: Say I have hello.gif in a jar under
client/resources and also the ResourceHandler in a different package
say client/utils it does not work.
Code for ResourceHandler is as follows:
public class ResourceHandler
public ImageIcon getImage(String imageName)
URL url = this.getClass().getResource(imageName);
System.out.println("-- url retrieved "+url);
return new ImageIcon(url);
The url printed is null. But if I have the ResourceHandler in the package client/resources it works. I believe that the class loader tries to load it from the path relative to this class. Any idea why this behaviour. I would also like to know why just being in the classpath is not sufficient.
--Jos Francis

It needs it because the location of resources (like an image) is independent of that of the java code (resources are not .class files).
To look for resources strictly from the syst classpath, you can use the methods getSystemResource() and getSystemResources() . These methods use the system ClassLoader to locate resources.

Create Classes In Different Packages With Error-free Importing

Hello,
I'd like to create a class which inherits from another class from some other package. So I use "import" keyword to involve the class to build my new class on. However, I hope my new class can be in its own package which is different with one the base class is in. To make it clear, please see the example below:
There are two folders, with name c08 and c09 respectively, in C:\Java which I created for this case. I set the environment variable as C:\Java. There is no problem. Then I saved file "Inter.java" in C:\Java\c08. It's source code is as below:
package c08;
public interface Inter {
     void play ();
     void action ();
And another "Test.java" is saved in C:\Java\c09. Source code as below:
package c09;
import c08.*;
public class Test {
protected class PC implements Inter {
          public void play () {
               System.out.println("Play()");
          public void action () {
               System.out.println("Action()");
It was successfully compiled for "Inter.java". But when comes to "Test.java", it failed with error message of something like "Cannot find the interface Inter". I tried some other ways and I didn't get any results.
I hope to create a class using classes from some other packages while keeping the new one in a different package. How can this be done? (I am currently doing this in J2SE 1.4.01 under Windows XP Home Edition)
Thank you!
Best Regards
Felix

I copied and pasted your code as well as made c08 and c09 directories. I had no errors compiling. I am using NT, but it appears that your problem is Classpath related. You can try to CD to the C:\Java directory and compile using "javac c09\Test.java" That's the command I used.

Home/Remote Interface and BeanName EJB in different Packages

Hi all,
I have a simple stateless session bean. Its Home and Remote interfaces are in X package and the BeanEJB in another. The files compile without any error. While I try to deploy it into J2EE ref implementation server using its deployment IDE, it throws up an rmic compilation error.
Error Details
File e:\j2sdkee1.3\repository\tejix\gnrtrTMP\POC2\General\SeabedHome_RemoteHomeImpl.java does not contain type General.SeabedHome_RemoteHomeImpl as expected. Please adjust the class path so that the file does not appear in the package General.
General is the package where the remote/home interfaces are located and Bean1 is where the BeanEJB.
Please suggest a solution
Thanks in advance
- Tejasvi

I think that there is no problem in having the remote and home interface in different packages. Are you sure there is no conflit between classes? I had the same problem because i had repeated classes in the same package. I know this looks stupid but it really happened.

Function Groups of different package in ECC 6

Hi,
I am facing a very peculiar problem with using an Include in two different function groups in different packages.
We are moving from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.
Now FG1 in PKG1 has an Include1 which uses a <b>parameter defined in a function module</b> in same packge PKG1. Its works fine.
And FG2 in PKG2 also has this include1 defined in main program. now when checking the FG2 it reports an error message in that include at that parameter, which is defined in the interface of function module defined in FG1 .
Now whne I read the documentation of a Pacakge it tell me that some visibility and use access concepts has been introduced. Please check the same and tell me if this error could be because of that.
Also To add here taht when i double click on the parameter in FG2 it takes me to the function module which has the defination however still throws an error.
And when i try to simulate similar thing in my own Z packges even the Doble click forward navigation doesn't work.
thanks in advance.
regards,

Moving Bean-class to different package

Hi,
For deployment reasons i need the Bean-class in a different package, seperated from package where the Remote and Home are located. I'm not sure how to do this in VisualAge 3.5p2. Simply moving doesn't work.
Hope someone can help,
Maarten

It sounds a little bit strange. Do you want them in packages with different names, like you have bean-class in com.mycompany.project1.mybeanclasses and have the Remote and Home classes in com.mycompany.project2.myremotehomeclasses? It seems possible if you right-click the class you want to move and select 'move', you can move it to a new package. This will be able to separate them.
Just curious, I think VAJ is very powerful concerning deploying EJBs already so what kind situation makes you want to separate the bean-class and interfaces?

Reassign text element to a different package?

Hi All,
I want to reassign the program text elements to a different package.
Note: I dont want to reassign program, have to reassign text elements only.
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Navneeth K.

I don't think that is possible. when we talk about a program, there are different components in it (you can see those on the initial screen of SE38 - Variants, Text elements, Attributes, Source Code, Documentation). These go together along with the program. They can't be segregated into different packages.
BTW, what is your requirement to have such a peculiar query?

Files with same name in different packages

I have a file with the same name defined in two different packages.
When I generate the javadoc, I get an error saying that
Class com.eg.toolkit.Email already defined in com.eg.common.Email.java
Does javadoc expect all files to be of different names acroos packages?
Thanks
Chintu

You can use the same class name in different packages.
The Java API does that (java.awt.List, java.util.List).
This is odd. What version of javadoc are you using,
and what command are you passing in, with what classpath setting?

What kind of gobbledegook is that? Are you or Microsoft crazy. Us computer users need simpler instructions. Or you need to write your programs so that they work.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
